BBC News (UK) presentation - Reith launch onwards

Relevant as its 100 days from today until 31st October and the planned Brexit day.

Or as Parliament sees it, 24 working days till Brexit.

The 2pm TOTH had Ben Brown at Westminster with the Afternoon Live headline vamp along with the regular titles being played out with some sound problems. Rebecca Jones will be in E later for the story on the UK's current heatwave.

I initially read ‘in’ as ‘on’ in that post. Which would have actually been worthy of a post.

Thought it would make more sense for Ben and Simon to switch shifts so Simon is in his normal shift.

Maybe they wanted Simon on for the build up and announcement. Ben is better suited to reporting on the aftermath.

Why? Simon's just as competent...

I think his point is McCoy is the person who should be delivering the big moment on BBC One.

Something similar to this happens in other enthusiast (is that the right word?) circles. Whilst folk like us may be passionate and may fret about the titles and the small details etc, the average viewer couldn't care less. They turn the news on to find out what the news is, not to see some fancy graphics.

*Sigh* We all know all this, this is not news to us, this is like somebody going up to the average wrestling fan, and saying, 'You do know wrestling is fake, don't you?' It's not like you're revealing some big secret that nobody knows. But even the average TV viewer will look at a title sequence that hasn't changed that significantly in 11 years, and go, 'it's getting a bit stale, don't you think?'

We're not your average viewer though, believe me. You'll get used to us.
